I've just bought my first r32 skyline gtr. The car has had a new engine and the standard boost gauge and apexi boost gauge have not been connected. There's 2 vacuum lines in the engine bay one that I think is for the standard gauge which is connected to some sort of sensor on the drivers side firewall. It t's off 3 ways one way to the sensor one heading into the cabin and the other to nothing. I've had my radio and climate controls out to connect a radar detector and there is also a vacuum line behind there not connected to anything which I think is the one coming from the engine.

The vacuum line for the Apexi gauge is just sat in the engine bay not connected. It has what looks like a one way valve in line.

Any ideas where I can can connect at least one of these up?

You can tap of it from where your standard boost line. Just go supercheap auto and buy the 3 way connecter its the little plastic thingy. But if you want it like FULLy accurate, Connect it directly to the standard line or you can either go to the fuel line vacum.

The standard one isn't connected to anything. When you say the fuel line vacuum do you mean the short piece that goes on the fuel pressure regulator?

the standard one connects to a little black box on the left hand side of the firewall near the booster

i would also t-piece of that

yeah its already connected to that black box but its not connected to the engine so not picking any vacuum up. Need to know where on the engine to connect.

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
